Warner Bros put out these Looney Tunes Super Stars DVDs after they stopped putting out the 4-DVD Golden Collections (the 6th set was the last). The Super Stars DVDs focused on specific characters (Bugs, Daffy, Foghorn Leghorn, etc.) but got mixed reviews because some used cropped images (as this one does) and some repeated cartoons that were already on the Golden Collections, etc. Overall, fans are not too happy with these.
I'd previously picked up the Daffy and Foghorn Leghorn Super Stars DVDs rather cheaply and thought they were good... I did not notice any cropping, the remastered image was very good and clean, the cartoon selections were all very good indeed and none (or only 1-2, if any) were repeated from the Golden Collection sets. So, despite the warnings of others on the net, I picked this one up via Amazon, paying more than I did for the other two.
As much as I like the cartoon selections and clear image of this Bugs collection, it's obvious the images have been cropped. I notice it and it bothers me. So, while I hope Warner Brothers rectifies this soon, I also hate the thought of paying twice for the same product.
If you can find it cheap, I'd highly recommend it for the great cartoons themselves. If cropped images bother you, avoid this one.

Cartoons CROPPED to look widescreen!
Aug 14 2010
By Paul J. Mular
- Published on Amazon.com
Warner has done something here that they never did with the Golden Collection DVDs, they CROPPED the picture of the 1954+ cartoons to make them look widescreen. The animators at Warner Brothers NEVER animated for wide screen until the 1980 revival. There are jokes missing because they are in the upper or lower portions of the picture which are not there now. Maybe these were shown at the theaters this way, but I want to see them the way the animators intended us to see them.
I have already contacted the powers that be at Warner Home Video to request a re-call and issue a proper un-cropped DVD of these classic cartoons.
This would have NEVER happened in the Golden Collection sets. Someone who does not know better must be in charge now!
This will be the LAST Looney Tunes DVD that I buy if this is going to be the new standard. Keep the old un-cropped Laserdiscs, a TRAVESTY has been committed here!

Why doesn't Warner Bros want my money?
Aug 18 2010
By grundle2600

The only reason that I will not be buying "Bugs Bunny: Hare Extraordinaire," and the only reason for my 1-star rating, is because someone at Warner Bros decided to use matting to cover up the tops and bottoms of most of the cartoons on this DVD.
For example, in the original version of "Napoleon Bunny-Part," Bugs Bunny walks under a doorway with a curved sign on top which says "Le Grande Ball Room." But on this DVD, the only part of the sign that can be seen is "Le Gra."
Warner Bros claims that their reason for doing this is because that's what the artists originally intended. I very much doubt this claim. Why would they draw a sign if they never intended for anyone to be able to read it? Furthermore, none of the cartoons on the six Looney Tunes Golden Collections are matted, and no one ever complained about the fact that those cartoons weren't matted.
I bought all six Golden Collections. But I will not be buying "Hare Extraordinaire."
